Hi there
Subject should be easy, but is it? The requirements are no stuttering and
no flashing. Is it possible? (Think a newsticker for this question; just
scrolling a piece of text or an image, across an X window.
SDL does not give me a real doublebuffer. Does OpenGL work correctly in
software mode or do I need hardware support? Other options? CGI? Xlib
(shuffer)?
What are my options?
This was _really_ easy to do with svgalib. Not so with X?
Thanks,
Mads
